A former Florida prosecutor who was tabbed by then-Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as her “drug czar” laughed off attempts by the Department of Justice to get information out of a convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, during an appearance on MSNBC Saturday afternoon.
Appearing with host Alex Witt, former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg was quick to point out that the partner in crime of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was charged with perjury during Trump’s first administration which automatically makes anything she spills to the DOJ suspect.
After earlier pointing out that he is a longtime friend of Maxwell attorney David Oscar Markus. Aronberg said the lawyer and his client are doing a “dance” to obtain a Donald Trump pardon which should not even be under consideration.
“I’m curious how you interpret the revelation that [DOJ official and former Trump lawyer] Todd Blanche asked Maxwell about 100 people. We don’t know if that’s factually a correct number or just a generic one he’s throwing out there, but does it suggest to you some kind of a list and is whatever she said the definitive word on guilt or innocence of those 100 or so people?” the MSNBC host asked.
“Ghislaine Maxwell is a liar,” a smirking Aronberg replied. “She was charged with perjury back in 2020 by the Trump administration, and now they want to believe her. They want to believe her because they want her to tease the [MAGA] base by saying there is a list of 100 people, even if it’s not officially a list, there are 100 people out there because that’s what the base wants to hear.”
“So Trump is trying to give the base what they want without releasing the files,” he added before asking and answering, “Will it work? I don’t think so. And you can see the language that the lawyer David Markus used here. ‘She was treated unfairly.’ You called it, Alex, there are no coincidences here. This is the dance I was talking about; you use the language of Donald Trump, that’s how to get to him, that’s how to get a pardon. “
